TANNERY RESTAURANT & TOWNHOUSE

The Tannery Restaurant, located in Dungarvan, Co Waterford in the South East of Ireland has long been regarded as one of Ireland's leading restaurants, and in June 2013 was awarded Irish Restaurant of the Year by the Restaurants Association of Ireland. The Tannery was opened in 1997 by leading chef Paul Flynn and his wife Máire and was followed in 2005 by the opening of the boutique style Tannery Townhouse. Over a decade later, the Tannery Cookery school is now open featuring a state of the art demonstration kitchen with further adjacent guest accommodation.

He was the cookery writer for the Irish Times and subsequently wrote three cookery books, “An Irish Adventure with Food” (Food and Wine cookbook of the year 2005) and "Second Helpings" which contains a selection of spectacular recipes using seasonal food.
